The School and Society by John Dewey
QR code
"The School and Society" by John Dewey is an educational work published in 1899. This influential text lays the groundwork for progressive education by arguing that schools must adapt to the Industrial Revolution's profound changes. Dewey proposes that children learn best through collaborative, hands-on experiences rather than passive absorption of facts. He envisions classrooms as active workshops where students explore real problems, connecting learning to life. Drawing on experiments at the University
of Chicago Laboratory Schools, Dewey makes a case for child-centered education that bridges theory and practice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
